Psalm 138:1-6 English Standard Version (ESV)

1. I give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart;before the gods I sing your praise;

2. I bow down toward your holy templeand give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness,for you have exalted above all thingsyour name and your word.

3. On the day I called, you answered me;my strength of soul you increased.

4. All the kings of the earth shall give you thanks, O Lord,for they have heard the words of your mouth,

5. and they shall sing of the ways of the Lord,for great is the glory of the Lord.

6. For though the Lord is high, he regards the lowly,but the haughty he knows from afar.
